Engine induction system and throttle body cleaning service

We have a Sykes-Pickavant 53403500 machine, allowing us to clean the induction system components without removing them from the vehicle.

The primary components cleaned are:

• The air intake duct
• The throttle body
• The plenum chamber / air box
• The inlet manifold

The potential benefits are:

• Regaining maximum performance
• Restoring smooth and responsive throttle action (an absolute requirement for fast road driving)
• Removing the build-up of thick oily deposits, caused by the action of the  Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve (EGR) and other emissions control components

This cleaning is particularly important for cars used mainly for short runs as they are more at risk of fouling up.

The engine oil and oil filter should be changed after cleaning.
